I do not own anything...literally. Here is the list of what I DON'T own:

Tiki is a Xenomorph, which I DON'T own.

War of the Worlds is another thing I DON'T own.

And the Crystal Egg is another thing I DON'T own.

I disown everything!

Machi opened the door and came right in on his machine. I smiled as Muffin and tiki pushed themselves from behind my legs.

"Machi!" they shouted, happy that he's home. Machi smiled.

"Yay! You're home!" Muffin continued. I walked up and grabbed my overly excited pets.

"No more chocolate for you 2." I transported the 2 back into their cages.

"Hi Zerxus!" I heard a group of humans say. I turned to find Melissa and her 2 friends, Victoria and Daniel.

"I thought I said they can only stay for a few hours." I told her. Melissa shrugged.

"They wanted a sleep over and I needed help keeping the 2 hyper pals from destroying the place." she informed. I shook my head.

"They can't stay much longer. Machi is back and you know how he gets when unexpected visits for HUMANS happen." I warned.

"Machi knows them."

"Speaking of Machi..." Daniel started. "We have to beat him on our video games!"

"Let's go!" Victoria said, walking out towards Machi. The other 2 followed her. I sighed.

"Great. Now they'll take over the TV." I mumbled to myself. I went out the back door towards Machi's Tripod. He never told me what Martians call any of their machines. Instead, he uses the human words for them.

I looked in and found my food. 2 Kangaroos, a mother and her joey saftly in her pouch. I also saw a human. He was dead, killed by my meal. Machi is going to have to get a replacement.

I opened the cage and the kangaroo hopped out and tried to get away. But I grabbed its tail. This is the best way to grab one since they can't turn and kick you. I dragged it towards the house.

I opened the door and walked in. I went past the 4 video game players. They paused the game and watched me drag my hopping and struggling prey towards my Yacama/ bed room.

"What are you going to do with that?" Victoria asked. I didn't annswer. I knew she would start panicing if she found out its fate. But she found out on her own. She looked at Melissa. "He's going to eat it, isn't he?"

I didn't see the conversation any further as I walked down the hall. The mother kangaroo dropped the joey on the floor. That's a defense tactic for both the parent and the baby. If the adult gets caught, the joey will still be alive. And, free of the extra weight, it's mother has a better chance at living.

Then, if both survive, the mom will come back for it. But in this situation, the mother is never coming back.

I ignored the joey and continued to escort Mama Roo to my room. I'll come back for the infant, as it's instinct to stay perfectly still.

Once I got my not so happy meal into my mini Yacama room, I strapped it down to the table. After stopping it's struggles, I begun preparation.

Earth creatures don't have the nutritional value needed to us Reginites. So I'll have to change that. I grabbed some amarenths that was growning on the floor and attempted to feed it to my prey.

It refused, so I forced the plant down it's throat. I also forced sotachu down it's mouth. Sotachu is Yacama water. I patted it's underbelly and shoved in more amarenths. Afterwards, I injected a certain medicine inside. This will keep me from catching illnesses.

Then I left the room to allow it to spread through the animals body. I was going to get the joey when I realized it was missing. I was stunned for a moment, then knew what happened.

"VICTORIA!" I yelled, running quickly to the game room. I spotted her on the couch next to Machi, playing that game of their's. O)n her lap was my target. She spotted me and gave Machi her controls. She then stood up, holding the joey.

"Gotta go!" she said frantically, shutting off the game. Melissa hit the arm rest.

"Aw man! And we were winning!" she complained. Victoria attempted to run off, but I quickly caught her. I had no intrest in harming her. I just want the furball. I succeeded, but as soon as I started walking, she gripped my cape, being dragged along trying to yank me back. But I'm way too strong for her.

"C'mon! Don't eat her! She's still a baby!" Victoria started. I ignored her. Having no other plan, she bit my arm. I screeched in surprise, letting go of my food which the human grabbed.

Us Reginites are poisonous, but she didn't bite hard enough to release it. I turned angrily at her.

"Listen human! You have your luck of us allowing you to come over any time Melissa wanted! Don't push it! Remember, coming here is a privilege, not a right, so don't abuse it by stealing my food! Now...give me my joey or you'll replace it!" I threatened.

I never bluff. If I say something, it's always true. Bluffing is too cowardly in my standards. Victoria knew very well that if I threaten to do something, I'll do it.

There was silence. Melissa, Daniel, and Machi stayed out of it. Instead they watched at the sidellines. Victoria sighed and looked at the joey.

"I'm sorry Joey. I tried." Victoria mumbled. She handed it to me and I took it and carried it to my room. There I repeated the same procedure of preparation, and then got ready to eat my dinner.

An hour later and I was done with my food. Melissa's friends left already. I was at the lake, splashing water over myself when Machi approached.

"I can't believe you let that Earth joey go with Victoria. Why'd you do that?" Machi asked. I sighed. It's true. I did let the joey go. I couldn't bring myself to eat it.

"Yeah...dang joey got to me." I admitted. Machi chuckled. Though Martians can never vocalize, they can still laugh quietly. They do so by breaking up exhales of air through their beak-like mouth.

"Zerxus. You are too benevolent for you're own good." he told me. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked. What is this martian talking about?

He smiled.

"Poor poor Reginite. So highly confused. And that's what makes you incredibly vulnerable." he continued. I tilted my head. What he's saying is even more confusing. And when did he start calling me Reginite? He never said that to me before. he always call me by my name.

"Tell me. What do you make of this?"

He showed me a large shining egg shaped object. I gasped. It's the Crystal Egg! This isn't good!

The last thing I saw was Machi, whose eyes started glowing a blue color. Then everything was fuzzy and I blacked out.

You should know that next chapter is this chapter from Machi's POV. Just reminding yall, okay?
